When you do face to face table top gaming, do you prefer a large round table? Oval? Rectangular/square? Do you prefer sitting at the head, if its a rectangular or in the middle?
Do you prefer to not even use tables, unless you are going to be using lots of minis??

Do you prefer wood topped? Felt topped? Ones with 'lips' or higher edges (so dice are harder to roll off), or flat surface?_________________It's Not who you kill, but how they die!
You cannot dodge it if you do not know it is coming, and you cannot hit it if you do not know its there.

My gaming table is a coffee table with an expanding top. It's a rectangle that expands to a 50% larger rectangle. (It can double the width, but not the length.) Whether we expand it or not depends on the number of players and whether or not we need a map for the gaming session.___________________________________________________
Before we take any of this too seriously, just remember that in the middle episode a little rubber puppet moves a spaceship with his mind.

Most houses I game at, the tables are kitchen and rectangular. One friend has as a coffee table. I try to use the end but sometimes im moved to a different spot. in my house I also use TV trys to hold books up. Again at the coffee table house, I usually set up my stuff on the side couch. We really have no preference and work with what we got. Heck, I've used no map but dominoes and glass stones for maps.

I prefer rectangular. Its easier to see all the people and keep the attention on the GM at the head. I have played on a round table and did not like it at all. Seemed like the GM didn't have enough room, was harder to pass things around to people and was this vast wasted space in the middle of the table that added to the feel that people were further away.

As for material on the table? I cannot speak to felt, but I would think, unless it was over a hard surface and stretched tight it would take too much bounce out dice rolls. On my table I have these heavy duty "bumper" things we use that supposed to protect the table. They are about 1/2 to 1" thick. Dice roll easily on this surface and even with either a cloth or plastic tablecloth the dice bounce._________________Don Diestler

Also prefer a rectangular table. Round tables are either too small or have too much difficult to access real estate._________________*It isn't realism, it's verisimilitude... seeming to be true within the context of [Star Wars].

Yeah, given what people have said, I think I prefer a rectangular table. Round ones seem less practical._________________Sutehp's RPG Goodies
Only some of it is for D6 Star Wars.
Just repurchased the X-Wing and Tie Fighter flight sim games. I forgot how much I missed them.

I usually play on a rectangular table. Either a friend's Geek Chic table or a plastic fold-out. When we play at my house, we have a round table, it often gets expanded with table leaves to be roughly rectangular. I'd like to play at a round table.

For years there were so many of us at someone's house that we had to use the living room floor. I would have 6-8 players at every session. So since nobody had that size dining room table, we just parked it on couches and the floor and rolled on the backsides of books.

If you can find a table that suits your needs, I recommend placing players in order of their PER attribute, essentially so you can go around one way with initiative instead of skipping all over._________________The only words of explanation you need for any concept in the entire Star Wars universe are the words Science Fiction and Space Opera.

I've done that before. Placing people from left to right from LOW to high Per.. So ic an go left to right in order of action Declarations, THEN right to left in order of action taking..._________________It's Not who you kill, but how they die!
